Table 1.
Antiviral activity of MPE against RSV
Sample | IC50 (µg/mL)a | CC50 (µg/mL)b | SIc |
---|---|---|---|
MPE | 10.41 ± 0.82 | 227.34 ± 9.37 | 21.83* |
rRbavirin | 2.73 ± 0.15 | 58.68 ± 3.98 | 21.49 |
aIC50 is the concentration of the sample required to inhibit virus-induced CPE 50%
bCC50 is the concentration of the 50% cytotoxic effect
cSI = CC50/IC50
Significance is shown as * p < 0.05, compared with ribavirin
